Welcome.

I first heard about the “Faces of” concept in 2016 from a publisher out of Omaha, Nebraska. They had created a magazine that helps promote local businesses by featuring a “Face” of a specific business type (e.g., “Face of Architecture”). This publisher found that the publication was able to connect community members with local Omaha businesses. From there, I talked to other publishers and wanted to see how the publication was received in their markets. Overall, we found that the feedback was really great in those regions, too.

Of course, I love and will always champion the idea of promoting community. That’s why in 2021, we decided to bring this concept to the Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo and Bismarck-Mandan communities. And in 2022, we continued to create this publication in those markets while also bringing the concept to Sioux Falls.

We continued in all three markets through 2023 and 2024 as well. At every stop along the way, we’ve received such great feedback that we’re proud to bring it back now for our fourth annual Sioux Falls edition in 2025.

We hope you enjoy this publication and take the opportunity to get to know some of the people behind our thriving business community.

In 15 years, we’ve been able to create over 500 magazines—all of which are solely focused on telling positive community stories! This is another piece of that puzzle, and I truly believe you’ll enjoy reading about your friends and neighbors in the ensuing pages.

This publication is considered a “native advertising piece” in the publishing industry. This means that each “Face of” is a sponsored page and paid for by that advertiser. However, this is not a “Best of” publication— it is simply a way for our community to see some of the “Faces” of respective businesses. In turn, we are connecting our readers to businesses they may not even be aware of.

By making this a sponsored magazine, we were able to produce the publication at a high quality and provide 25,000 copies free to the public. Our sales and editorial teams worked to ensure that we reached out to credible “Faces” of the categories we chose. Our goal is for readers to enjoy learning more about some of the people behind the businesses that make our community flourish. Hopefully, it will create a better sense of community and also encourage more of us to shop local!

HR & Payroll Services Managing Partner Jason Boutwell & HR Business Partner Ricki Boyle

PRO Resources

S

mall businesses and big HR problems are why more companies are turning to PRO Resources.

Managing the full scope of human resources has become increasingly complex. Large companies reduce risk and control costs by relying on full-scale HR departments.

But for small and mid-sized businesses, building that same internal infrastructure simply isn’t cost-effective.

Instead, most small businesses roll the dice with a DIY approach or rely on a single, often overwhelmed, HR generalist. In this model, the real cost of HR, including risk exposure, time, and turnover, is rarely measured, but it adds up fast.

14 | FACES OF SIOUX FALLS 2025

Just as businesses have long outsourced IT, legal, financial, and marketing services, many are now applying the same logic to HR. Traditional HR outsourcing options often stop at the basics: payroll, forms, and compliance checklists. But PRO Resources goes beyond that. As a Professional Employer Organization (PEO), PRO offers the full power of a corporate HR department: safety, wellness, EAP, benefits administration, payroll, workers’ compensation claims and coverage, HR technology, and on-site support.

“We offer what feels like an entire HR army, without the overhead,” said PRO Partner Jason Boutwell. “And we’ve built the model so that pricing scales with headcount. That

makes it accessible to companies of every size.”

Because PRO aggregates purchasing power across its client base, it provides access to Fortune 500-level employee benefits, often at a lower cost than small businesses can obtain on their own. From payroll and onboarding to compliance audits and even those tough conversations with employees, PRO handles the heavy lifting, so your leadership team can stay focused on growth.

In addition, PRO shares in the risk. As a locally focused PEO, they help mitigate legal exposure with built-in HR compliance support, proactive claims management, and industry-aligned safety programs. Their safety department

provides workforce training, risk assessments, and hands-on claims advocacy to protect your people and your bottom line.

If you’ve outgrown DIY HR or your lone HR manager is stretched too thin, PRO Resources delivers big-company HR for small-business budgets.

n uncertain markets, confidence is everything. That’s why the team at Pinnacle Wealth in Sioux Falls focuses on more than just investment returns—they guide clients toward clarity, purpose, and peace of mind, no matter what the headlines say.

“Volatility can shake people’s confidence, especially when they’re close to retirement or facing major life transitions,” Kevin Engbers, CFP®, CEPA®, Wealth Advisor and CEO & Founder of Pinnacle Wealth said. “But when you have a plan that’s deeply rooted in your values, it helps you stay grounded. That’s the foundation of what we call True Wealth.”

Since 2007, Pinnacle Wealth has helped individuals and families design financial strategies that reflect not just

40 | FACES OF SIOUX FALLS 2025

their goals, but their lives, through both calm and turbulent seasons. Their True Wealth approach is built on nine valuebased principles that aim to strengthen financial confidence while keeping the bigger picture in view.

“Markets will move up and down, but your plan shouldn’t feel like it has to,” Engbers said. “We ask people, ‘If we were sitting down 10 years from now, what would make you say that building a financial plan with Pinnacle Wealth was the best decision you ever made?’ That’s the lens we use— future-focused, values-aligned, and resilient.”

The Pinnacle Wealth team sees money as just one part of a much larger picture. They help clients align their financial strategy with the areas that matter most: physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial well-being. True Wealth,

as defined by the firm, is “everything you have that money can’t buy and death can’t take away.” Pinnacle Wealth’s mission is to walk alongside clients as they pursue purpose-driven lives, with financial clarity as a key tool, not the final goal.

Pinnacle Wealth offers a range of financial services, including comprehensive written financial game plans, portfolio management, risk and legacy planning, education, and more.

With more than 35 years of experience, Pinnacle Wealth has built a team of advisors, operations specialists, and client experience professionals dedicated to service and longterm relationships.

“We’ve seen it over and over—people get so caught up in making a living that they lose sight of the life they’re trying to build,” Engbers said. “Our goal isn’t just to help you retire—it’s to help you live well today, with confidence about tomorrow. That’s the True Wealth difference.”
